Released as a single on Sid Nathans King label K 5739 with Choo-choo (locomotion) on the flip. The song was written by Russ Columbo, Clarence Gaskill and Leon Robin, and had been popularised by Columbo in 1931 and made a No.1 hit by Perry Como in 1945.
James Brown revived "Prisoner of Love" in 1963. It was his first recording to enter the pop Top 20. The studio recording was arranged by Sammy Lowe. He performed the song live with his vocal group , The Famous Flames on the concert film The T.A.M.I.Show , and on a mid-sixties telecast of The Ed Sullivan Show. The Flames, however, were not used on the studio recording, having been replaced, in this instance, by a female chorus. Wikipedia
